LM1875 2.1 kit?

[KyleinCowichan]

Hello,

I see there's some very cheap 2.1 channel amplifiers on Ebay based on the LM1875. I searched the forum and I don't see anyone commenting on them. Has anyone here tried one? The appear to have the rectifier circuit on-board.

For example: LINK

I would not choose to buy a complete kit of chips & passives from the Far East.
I have bought PCBs from there but I find the quality very variable.
Copper delamination is the biggest problem, second worst is temperature tolerance of the mask.

I just ordered the "bigger brorther" on ebay, a 2.1 amplifier with 2x68W for tweeters and midranges, and 160W for the sub. I'm looking forward to test it out!

Hi Andrew,

Point taken. For the low prices I am willing to experiment.

Please post your impressions!

I messaged one of the Ebay seller for the item in my first post and they said they'd include instructions for changing the crossover frequency of the sub with the purchase.
